At the end of the day, donβt we all just want to read books in a cottage during a pouring rain in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of cinnamon rolls?

Harry Potter casting announcement like "here's a list of people you no longer have to care about."
Traditional illustration made for K/S Springfever 2023, in black ink lineart and copic markers for color, of Kirk and Spock from Star Trek The Original Series. It is composed of three wide rectangular panels in sequential vertical order depicting the hanahaki disease or flowers disease. In the first panel Spock is gently holding Kirk's face and about to kiss him, they're softly crying with flowers starting to come out of their mouths, a golden one for Kirk and a lavender one for Spock. In the next panel they are kissing but the flowers are extending, their tears also morph into petals and flowers start to bloom in the corners of the panel too. Spock tightens that hold on Kirk. The third and last panel is completely covered in flowers now, hiding the lovers from view. Below it reads "The End"

Of all the extraordinary radicals in One to One: John and Yoko, the Ray Conniff singers were outstanding.
people seem to think there's an amount of cruelty and suffering that will radicalize people into action, but if they haven't already reached it by now, i'm not sure where exactly they think the line is
A haphazard pile of printed, half-page-sized zines. The pile contains copies of the same zine with various colors of paper used for the cover, which has a retro computer graphics design and reads, βvisions: a K/S Star Trek fanzineβ

The simultaneous crash of the stock market and the bond market is super ominous. But also a totally foreseeable consequence of this insane tariff policy.
So is it incompetence or part of a plan to crash the economy? An increasingly important question.
Outcry matters. Keep using your voices.
The 3rd musketeer
a small dog wearing a black and orange bandana, collar, and leash sits on a leafy dirt path and looks up at us with large brown eyes. she's white with brown spots on her ears and eyes. she has brown speckles on her left paw, and her right paw is actually a bright orange webbed duck foot. she likes to have fun with her prosthetics.
This is Autumn. She was born without one paw. Gets along just fine with three, but still sometimes uses a prosthetic leg when she wants to blend in. 13/10

A pile of paperbacks of my book Notebook.
The back cover of my book Notebook.
Decided to give away this entire pile of my 2022 book Notebook for the price of postage (Β£4 UK). If you can pay more, great. If not, no problem. Pop a reply below if you'd like one. It's a short, silly book, but sometimes a bit serious, too, and people tell me it's a good easy gateway to my writing.

Thank you all. Clem loved what he was doing. He lived his dream
Really sad and shocking news to hear about the death of Clem Burke from cancer. A brilliant drummer, he always seemed ever-youthful and full of life #RIP
